Rockler Workbench Casters, 4 Pack

This set of four easy-spin 2-3/8" urethane casters feature a foot-activated lift mechanism that engages or disengages with the touch of your toe. Engage them to lift your bench 3/4" off the floor for mobility, disengage them for stability. Each caster is constructed of durable steel and rated for 100 lbs. - that's 400 lbs. of total capacity with the 4-pc. set!

Found them easy to install. Sides of the portable work bench are 3/4" so I added a 3/4" x3"x4" backer plywood for support and more for the screws to bite in to. Work as expected; roll nicely on the concrete floor.

I am so happy to have found Rockier. A guy made a custom work bench for me that weighs close to 300 lbs. The casters I bought work great. Petal up or down plus got the mounting plates so the casters can come off very easy. I can spin that work bench round and round with two fingers. What an incredible product. I Love emThanks againRichard

Ordered for use on mobile table saw and router table combination. Fairly large cabinet with significant weight. Casters work very well and have no problems supporting the weight. Also very easy to roll and smooth moving around.

Great solution if you need optional mobility without giving up stability

I need mobility on my workbench without giving up stability. The Rockler Workbench casters give me the flexibility to move my Heavy workbench wherever it’s needed easily and on my own. Great quality product that serves the purpose very well.

Installed and operated as advertised and expected. Workbench is extremely heavy so I hope I have not overloaded the casters. Workbench will normally stay stationary directly on floor. But casters will allow movement occasionally. Thanks.

Mounted on plainer stand and table router cabinet making it much easier storage and uses depending on job sizes being performed in my shop! Use my 4’X 4’ work bench as out feeding purposes!! (Sets in middle of my shop) very versatile

I installed these on a 7' long split top Roubo bench and they work fantastic! I purchased the backing plate kit as well but so far the casters have stayed on the bench since it makes it so easy to move around the shop.

At first glance I almost passed on these bc of the price. Friend of mine has them and after seeing his setup he recommended I buy them. Put them on my first workbench and loved them. Bought a second set for another bench I just finished. Needless to say worth the money. Both workbenches are loaded with tools and these wheels move very easy.

I saw a video on Youtube showing how to install these on a Harbor Freight Workbench. I chose the Rockler brand casters because after viewing the video I knew these were a definite hassle free fit for my Harbor Freight Workbench. Installation was quick and easy, took me about an hour. Just make sure your pilot holes are deep enough. Very satisfied with this product!

They work pretty well. I am using them on a large workbench/outfeed table 7'x3' made out of a solid core door with 4x4 legs and 2.4 structure. It's heavy. . . Sometimes i have to lift the table in order to lower the casters. But the casters seem to handle the abuse. I found no other product that could do this.

These castors were easy to installl. They readily move my 6.5’ x 4’ work bench . They appear to be sturdy and I expect them to last a long time. I was also happily surprised with the speed of there delivery.

Work as described, I added a 3/16 inch piece of steel to go between them to make raising a lowering bench easier. I also used bolts instead of the screws that were sent with casters. Overall I'm very happy with the casters, would recommend them to anyone looking to make a bench mobile.

Purchased these to help move my router table around the shop and disengage the wheels in such a way the table sat firmly on the ground. They work to perfection, very happy with the purchase and would buy them again recommend them to others.

My woodworking bench is nice and heavy. Legs and top are all made from 4x4's, it does move. But when I pop the casters down I can roll it around in my workshop with one hand. I bought a second set for my router table too!

I ordered one set and installed on my home made router table. I decided that it needed to be mobile for maximum efficiency After about two weeks I ordered three more sets to put on my other workbenches and carts. I love these things . They work extremely well. I would order again.

I have built many work benchs. Most of them have those casters. They are the best; and the safest. After you move the bench you lower it and take off the wheels. Nothing to trip over!. I highly recommend them. My benchs are very heavy.

These are my 2nd set purchased. I orginally put the on my super heavy workbench so I can easily move around the garage. Later purchased a Craftsman Three Tool flip bench which is super heavy with a thickness planer, oscillating belt sander and Kreg Foreman Pocket Hole machine all attached! So, I bought another set to make mobile again, since those tools are not used all the time...wheel it out of the way!!!@

Casters work fine, seem to be of good quality. I was retrofitting though and did not account for the side mounting versus my existing bottom of the leg mounted casters and so now my bench is significantly lower than I want so will have to add significant spacers onto the legs to restore the bench height. Fairly priced for their complexity.

I got a set of these and two sets of "QR CASTER PLATES". they seem economical. and if I want to add to the tools I need to be mobile, it's just a matter of another set of QR PLATES. "God save the back!"

Does anybody have any experience with the "tires" separating from the "rim"? Mine started to desolve in a million pieces, without having been overloaded or rolled through any type of chemicals.

BEST ANSWER:Purchased a set for a bench at work in a chemical plant, have had them in use at least 4 years with no problems. when I have need of this type of caster on other portable equipment and tables I buy these have 4 or 5 sets now with no trouble.

bought this set a few years ago put on my work bench , moved it and raised the wheels, went to move recently and two of the wheels split at the seam and came apart. I found some casters @ Tractor Supply that are close in size.

I installed these on a workbench that also stores many of my hand tools so the weight must be a few hundred pounds. They fell apart within days so the casters are really only for light weight duty. I replaced them with 3" casters rated at 250 pounds each but it did require redialing the mounting holes to a larger size. All seems to work now so I think the step lift mechanism is up to the job.

Can I get Technical specifications for this? I want to know the size of the mounting plate and the "screw holes". I'm a draftsman for theatre and I'm specing these for a piece of rehearsal scenery, but I need to know where to drill bolt holes and how/where I should place framing to support the casters.

BEST ANSWER:Plate Dim(X,Y) - (1.965in, 3.558in). 2 mounting holes, one centered at top and one centered at bottom, coordinate to follow. Coordinates(X,Y), reference pt is top left corner, (1.033in, 0.486in). Hole Dia(in) ~5/32 to 11/64.

The bracket has a hole where the caster bolts on to, so technically you can change out the casters. You have to consider that if you change the size of the tire or are using a pneumatic tire account for the change in mounting height of the bracket. On a side note, I have my mine mounted on a workbench that i roll out from my garage onto a paver driveway and it isn't smooth like a pneumatic tire might be but it gets done. Hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER:It does have a load rating of 100 lbs per caster or 400 lbs with all four. However, when you raise the workbench off the floor to a rolling position, you are putting all 400 lbs on the first caster you raise. For me, this was enough to cause the caster to fail and my workbench only weighs about 250 lbs. I would use a heavy-duty locking caster rated for more weight if I were you. I will be switching out my casters this summer.

I want to mount these on the inside of the legs. I trip over enough stuff now as it is! I have exactly 6 inches from the floor to the underside of the crosspiece on my workbench. I know that is enough space to mount these. But will 6 inches allow the lift mechanism to come up high enough to engage the wheels? Will it be a real pain to 'step on' that lift mechanism, trying to slide my foot on there with only 6 inches clearance?

Steve- It's not very likely that this mounting arrangement will work. When the wheels are retracted, the wheel engagement lever flips up well above the caster mounting, probably already very close to 6 inches from the floor. With your foot thickness at about 2 inches, I really doubt that you'd be able to depress the lift mechanism if you mount them on the inside of the legs with your crosspiece.

As long as you mount them so that they don't conflict you can put them on any side you want (i.e. don't put one pair on a side and the other pair on the end - you have to do end/end or side/side so that it will roll together.That said, I'm not happy with mine... the casters are just too small unless you have a perfectly smooth floor.

One thing I should note is that they extend about 4" out from what they are mounted on so your base could be pretty narrow if you mount them on the inside. You'll want to make sure this doesn't cause it to be unstable. You'll also want to make sure you can get to them to lift/lower the wheels.

BEST ANSWER:If you need longer screws to go through the wood there is no problem, use the length you need to go all the way through the wood with about 1/2 inch to spare, this is the amount you need for the thickness of the quick release and for the nut. As for height, The box tells you to drill the holes 2 inches from the floor, and the second hole 4 inches above the floor, you should center the holes on the leg (side to side. I hope I have helped you

You can use a longer screw as long as you can find one with the proper head. If it does not fit properly it will interfere with the ability to slide in the casters. you should follow the package directions for height so that the casters work properly

My garage floor is so unlevel, to get out feed table level with table saw there is a 1 3/4" gap from bottom of bench to floor on 1 side and 1" gap on other side (currently using leg levelers). Will these still work to lift out feed table of leg levers and roll around?

BEST ANSWER:They lift about 3/4" -- my floor is also uneven, so once I put my workbench in place, I sometimes need a wedge to level it. You could also use adjustable feet but it was recommended to me not to use them on a a work bench because of the pounding it might take.

BEST ANSWER:The wheels are made of urethane, as mentioned in the description. I have not been using these long, but I just installed them on a work bench, and the seem to work fine. I don't intend to move the bench all that often so I hope they will wear well.

Has anyone tried mounting larger casters to this set? I have to mount it higher than the 2" that these specify. My requirement is that the first screw must be at least 2 5/8" off the floor. I'm thinking of putting a 3" caster on the mounts to raise the lower bolt for the quick release plate to 3 1/8". Any thoughts?

BEST ANSWER:I had a similar problem and just mounted the caster set a little higher. It works good but just leaves your stand or whatever a little closer to the floor. Measure your clearance and just allow for that to allow space to move.

BEST ANSWER:Yes, you can. I just did it. If the legs are not vertical you may need some angle spacer blocks (I just did it), then drill holes into the blocks, then into the legs. I used bolts, of two different lengths, to attach mine. Works like a champ!

If you shop around, you can also find ones that are set up to be used explicitly with contractor saws and are suitable angled. The shims would load the wheels and frame in a way that would derate them from full load

It would be difficult to attach them directly to the metal legs. You could build a 2x4 frame , attach the legs to that and the casters to the vertical sides of the 2x4s. Better option would to be to buy a base designed to be used with a table saw from Rockler or another source such as Sears.

BEST ANSWER:Yes, I would also get the removable acssesory, so when you get your work bench where you want you can take the caster off and your not stub your toes on them, make shure you attach them a solid place on your bench.

BEST ANSWER:Good Question! I have had problems with this myself. To alleviate some of the problem, I installed the wheel brackets 1/2" higher on the leg than the instructions indicate. This still gives you 1/2" clearance under the legs when the wheels are locked and stops the wheels from curling under in most rolling situations. As soon as you lift up on the workbench, though, the wheels still try to roll under.

Thanks, Bill. I installed mine 1/4" higher for a little better leverage. I am going to see about fashioning a block to place on the leg just below the caster in hopes that can keep it from rolling under. Other than that I'm very pleased with the strength and glide of them.

I have a set of these casters and they lift my 300 pound sjobergs workbench just fine. But when it comes time to lower the bench back to the floor, I have to use a Fastcap jack to flip them up. I can't do it with steel-toed boots, It would be nice if there were a way to softly lower the bench, so its weight doesn't cause it to slam down to the floor once the "flipper" is disengaged. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

BEST ANSWER:Yes they require quite a lot of pressure to disengage but I made me a release rod out of 3/8 inch rod with a T handle and hook that does it fairly ease while standing. Mine are on a 400lb. work bench. Makes a little ruchus though.

So is it 100lbs per caster or in total for all 4? I have a 300+ Lbs desk that I want to mount these casters to. The desk is heavy and is made of particle board. Not to mention I will be also adding tools on to the desk as well making the weight significantly greater. For my solution can someone suggest another product if these casters dont work please? My side panels are 1 1/4" wide and I haven't found any u shaped brackets with casters to work.

BEST ANSWER:You can always modify your table and make your own set of lifting casters. Norm Abram has a video on a modern assembly table for New Yankee Workshop that goes over how to do it. I would suggest beefing up the areas where the casters are going to attach. I have has trouble using the casters in 3/4 in baltic birch plywood and had to double the thickness to make the casters works.

BEST ANSWER:I use them for the same application. I applied them to a 40 year old radial arm saw. They work well for that. I used one existing hole on each leg and had to drill one more They allow me to move the saw around my shop when in use and push it in the corner when not in use. My shop is actually my garage.

BEST ANSWER:if design is similar to the castor supplied it would work but top mounting hole would be closer to 6.25 " from bottom of leg(prefigure using right angle for guide) (wheel clearance of lowered lever arm the only restriction)

BEST ANSWER:These casters have a load rating of 100 lbs each, with a total load rating of 400 lbs for the set. If your Unisaw is within that limit you're ok - check with Rockwell to be sure if you don't know your saw wt. That said, these casters are heavy duty and well made. I have them on my work bench which is made out of a 3" thick maple top, 24" x 72". It's pretty heavy but not 400 lbs.

I have them on a very sturdy workbench made of 4x4 fir posts with a 2x6 frame and 1" table top. I also keep my heavy planner stored on the lower shelf. Not sure of the weight but very heavy for me to lift. Hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER:I built a large heavy wooden workbench with storage underneath for tools & equipment which I estimate weighs in at least 300 pounds in total. These casters make it very easy to move anywhere in the shop and I've had no problem with them.

The maximum weight for the casters is 100 pounds each for a total weight of 400 pounds. The Saw you purchased weighs less than 400 lb's. I have the same set of casters on my out feed table that work well.

BEST ANSWER:I really can't say for sure because my shop floor is concrete but the lathe that I use them with is quite heavy and it rolls with very little effort. With the size of the wheels I would think that they will be okay with a very short napped carpet. Good luck.

BEST ANSWER:Yes I put them all of my work benches . They made it easy to move the whole shop area around to make a small shop into a large space so I can use the table saw to cut up the plywood. In fortunately I lost everything to the wild fire on paradise. Had to relocate to my RV. I built a landing and steps for easy access to the RV I put then on so I can mow it out of the way when needed. I highly recommend them
